Answers to common questions. Can't find yours? Email hello@e2bean.com.
How do two people play on one phone?
Lay the phone flat between you and take an end each: each player has their own half of the screen, and a touch anywhere in it is theirs. In most games you can choose Side by side on the game's start screen instead, and turn the phone on its side. Before a match starts, each player taps their own half to say they're ready. How to play is on the pause button (✕) in every game.
How do I add my own toys and things?
On the home screen, tap Take photos in the row With your things (or go to Settings → My Stuff), then take a photo or choose one. Put one thing on a plain background in good light. The phone cuts it out and it becomes a game piece. You can name it, say whose it is, and put it in groups.
Which games use my things?
Fit Through, Copy Me and Bag Toss play with them: they're in the row With your things on the home screen. A thing can also be a player's character, which is the piece they play as in Hop Along and Swing Across. Before you've photographed anything, the games use the app's own toys.
Why can't I see Make It Magic on a player's photo?
It uses Apple Intelligence, which needs a recent iPhone (iPhone 15 Pro or later) with Apple Intelligence turned on in Settings → Apple Intelligence & Siri. On other phones the choice doesn't appear.
Where are my photos kept?
Only on your phone. Beanbag Arcade never uploads them.
